will consider il their chief duty to- vote for
a candidate whom they want elected.

sufficiently considerable danger to explain a
decline of confidence in the approach OF Home
Rule on Mr.. Gladstonc's part can hardly be
believed Just now the fccblcness and bad
Judgment Of the Government offer the strongest
grounds for hope. Should Balfonr DC sent
nack to Dublin there would be no reason Tor
dis, engagement for he may be trusted to make
his party more odious, and possibly moro
ridiculous. But the most solid cause for hope
consists in the reflection that if the Irish people
do not lose their heads they can make the
success Of coercion impossible without such an
employment of force as England would refuse
4 n tolerate.

A PJUSE ~ THE STRUGGLE

The defeat of the Government prosecution
in the Sullivan case appears to have induced
a sort Of lull in the Irish storm. The Union
lists. indeed, have filed the air with outcrics,
but beyond demanding the head Of Lord Chan
ccllor Ashbournc on charger, they have
suggested nothing practical. Meantime the
League meetings are not only announced but
held, and the Government is kept face TO face
with the pcrpleAing question, What arc you
going to do about it? II is true that cyictions
continue, and that new access Of Iigor and
brutality seems TO havo occurred in the con-
duct of them an access which is very naturally
ascribed TO fresh instructions on tho part Of
the authorities. The position Of the Govern
mcnt has unqucstiOnably been rendered more
difficult by the incompetence Of its own agents
This may, however, be remedicd. II is proc
ably easy enough TO find more supple and
Obseuuous magistrates and more energetic
prosecuting officers. But when all the rcprcs-
sivc machinery has been put in thorough work.
ing order, it still remains to re seen whether
the League can be put down and kept down,
and the latter rart of the undertaking threatens
70 be by far the most trying. The extension
OF the determination not to obey the law can
only be met, on the present lines Of Govern
mcnt policy, by an equal extension of coercion,
and this may 90 on until Ireland is in state
Of siege without ciIccting anything.
Nevertheless, il is TO be noted that Mr.. Glad
stone does not appear 50 confident as he was
concerning the future, and 1t is an interesting
consideration what has shaken his confidence.
The indications are that he is disappointed
IN the slow development Of English opinion
against the coercion programme. Inc
Nitchelstown slaughter has not as yet caused
the reaction which was looked for. Possibly
this is due in part to the damaging erect Of
thc murder Of Chief Constable Whc'rhan which
was most unfortunate crime for the friends
Of Ireland Perhaps, also, Mr.. Gladstone ap-
prehcDds that the Government, by carefully
irritating the Irish people, and tempting them
into outbreaks, may create Il state Of things
so anarchic that the prctcxt Of necessity for the
employment OF coercion will be accepted in
England as sound. That there is some danger
of this must be admitted, but that it is a

CO MISSIONER ATETNS'S ORDER.

The recent order OF Indian Commits Toner Atkins
forbilding the teaching of reading and writing in
the vcrnacular in the Government schools for In
dams is very severely criticised By Indian mis-
sionarics and teachers, who say that IL Will
seriously interfere with the work Of educating the
i;idians. II is now explained that the order was
only intended to api IS 10 Children; but even so, 1t
is difficult To see how it can be enforced
The truth is. it is outside the province
OF the United States Government to Interfere in n
matter like this. Even Indians have some rights
and among them j. the right 30 the use of their
own national tongue. For tir Government to

that they give up their language, is not an act

The office of City Controller is hardly second
in importance to that of Mayor. 1t is the
Controllers business to keep strict watch
over the accounts of contractors and Others
TO pass on appropriations, and generally to
guard the city treasury. With an honest
Controller the Tweed frauds would have been
impossible But the Mayor ut that time
escaped the clutches of the law on the ground
that he could be Mayor and still be ignorant
of such frauds This emphasizes the great I'M
portance of having tried and experienced
business man at the head OF the Finance De-
partment. And it shows the absurdlty OF inc
effort of ex-MayOr Graces friends to secure
this Office for young lawyer who has made
himself useful as "citizen" annex to the
ex-Nlayor's campaigns. With his partner for
Chamberlain and his protcgc for Controller,
the ex-Niayor would have the city treasury III
